4 More Quadio titles coming in October!

Heads up: If you're thinking of buying the Spinners release, it MAY have issues with the front left channel being too quiet. I talk a bit about it here and I'll probably post more tomorrow about it: HiRez Poll - Spinners, The - SPINNERS [Blu-Ray Audio]

If you have a copy, fancy to add it to Discogs?

Alright alright alright. Tracking working now and discs coming Monday.

I submitted a message to the customer support page on Rhino Records about this supposed issue. I'll let y'all know if there are any updates.

Wow. Actually my discs just arrived.
One case appears to have a small crack, but all unopened at this point. Nothing really bad so I'm pleased.

Still waiting patiently for a shipping notification, one week on (UK address).

Order Status: Ordered

Shipped to: Keith

Mine arrived yesterday. Not opened yet but two cases have small cracks in same place top lower right of lid. Which leads me to believe they went into the shipping box already cracked.

Edit: should be top lower left of lid near the hinge on both cases.

I ordered mine on the 14th at 16.07, I had shipping notification and tracking number on the 17th, not much has happened on the tracking though, (UPS) says "FONTANA, CA, United States" at the moment.

Serves me right for being so cocky with the last bundle. I ordered way after many others who ordered on the day (probably by almost a month) and received my discs in the UK within a week whilst some of the 'early birds' across the pond were still waiting. Karma!

Here's what I told Edison:
"I noticed that as well as the right rear seeming too loud on the second half of the album. And the lead vocals being to low, etc. It is how we found it.

I'd call it a mixing decision, not a mastering problem."

I called Craig Anderson when I got the ref and he said that is how the tape was. There were no notes to change any of the levels or balances so we didn't mess with it.
If someone has a Quad reel or 8 track of this that's substantially different, I'd like to hear about it.

Someone with the CD-4 said the channels were about the same loudness across the first song, unlike the blu-ray. HiRez Poll - Spinners, The - SPINNERS [Blu-Ray Audio]

I think the right rear is the correct loudness, as the album seems to mix the bass guitar equally between the two back channels across the blu ray release.

Thanks for the response, by the way!

Personally, I don't get hung up on waveforms....I pop it in and listen. Wouldn't it be just hilarious if I think it sounds fucking amazing?

I think @fredblue posted a recording of his CD-4 record recently. Maybe he'd be happy to chat about it!

See the poll thread, posts 8 and following (but especially post 21).

Hey Baggy, tell FR that he can call you “Mike.” BTW, I’m waiting with baited breath for the next Rhino edition of Life In Surround.

BTW, do you have the “Best of Aretha Franklin”? It would be cool if you were to show all 11 Rhino discs in your next video so that the rest of us can drool.

Edit: Never that last comment as I recall that you’ve generously gifted your Chicago Quadio to a worthy recipient.

He knows me.
And a friend has my Chicago set.
But maybe someday!

Yipee! A quad of quadios just arrived, and the cases look fine!

Of course, I'll be spending the next week or so listening to them over and over andoverandoverandover.

 

[timbre4]

Saturday album - it’s like hearing it for the first time - this is BIG quad fun!

 

[key_wiz]

They’re here! No broken cases. My afternoon listening choices are set!

Oh man! I wish mine could have arrived today. It's seriously "odd" how arrival dates are all over the place.....when most of us ordered on day 1.
